It's clear comfort is a priority, with particularly plush beds and spacious, well-appointed rooms that feel both clean and luxurious. The Chinese restaurant, a consistent highlight, delivers flavourful meals at very reasonable prices, complemented by a well-stocked bar. Friendly, welcoming ownership underpins the entire experience, making for a grounded and agreeable stay.”
